RIP David LynchI was listening to his talks on transcendental meditation last year, and I got a feeling that it would be perfect to use in a track. It's little bit strange, a little bit direct, but it felt like something I'd love to hear out on the floor.What an incredible artist, thanks for all the inspiration.
Everyone has had their own experience of the pandemic. Mine has been relatively safe and it has been relatively strange. I have been working alone every day in a 3000 sq ft space since March 13, 2020 and I have gone a little feral.In the beginning when nobody knew what was going on and everything was locked down I kept going in: there was nobody else at my work and the transit was a way of marking time. I had the streets to myself and I could bike down the middle of the road. A week or so in I started singing out loud as I biked: little melodies and beats, hooks from imaginary tunes.After a while I bought a cheap groovebox to turn these fragments into something. There is a PA at my work that I could use all the time with the space being empty, so I listened to mixes and danced and worked on tunes with it.To finish these tracks I kept recording simple because it felt true to the whole scenario. Every sound on this record is straight from the groovebox [except for some claps because I can’t get good claps out of it, and a sampled break in the background of the title track].Normally when I start a project I have a target or a concept but I didn’t think much about why I was working on these tracks during their creation. I was just following the process. It’s taken me a while to understand these tunes but if they have been my way to mark time, now seems like the right moment to share them.

Since lockdown started, I've been spending a lot of time with the Model:Cyles from Elektron. Part of that has meant embracing a more immediate and live workflow. Another part of it has been having the discipline to still work on tracks and not jams. For video of this performance, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ9yf6WC6Uk
